* IB/hfi1: Serve the most starved iowait entry firstKaike Wan2017-07-311-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an egress resource(SDMA descriptors, pio credits) is not available, a sending thread will be put on the resource's wait queue. When the resource becomes available again, up to a fixed number of sending threads can be awakened sequentially and removed from the wait queue, depending on the number of waiting threads and the number of free resources. Since each awakened sending thread will send as many packets as possible, it is highly likely that the first sending thread will consume all the egress resources. Subsequently, it will be put back to the end of the wait queue. Depending on the timing when the later sending threads wake up, they may not be able to send any packet and be again put back to the end of the wait queue sequentially, right behind the first sending thread. This starvation cycle continues until some sending threads exceed their retry limit and consequently fail. This patch fixes the issue by two simple approaches: (1) Any starved sending thread will be put to the head of the wait queue while a served sending thread will be put to the tail; (2) The most starved sending thread will be served first.

* IB/hfi1: Inline sdma_txclean() for verbs pioMike Marciniszyn2016-11-151-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Short circuit sdma_txclean() by adding an __sdma_txclean() that is only called when the tx has sdma mappings. Convert internal calls to __sdma_txclean(). This removes a call from the critical path.

* IB/hfi1: Add sysfs interface for affinity setupTadeusz Struk2016-10-021-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some users want more control over which cpu cores are being used by the driver. For example, users might want to restrict the driver to some specified subset of the cores so that they can appropriately partition processes, irq handlers, and work threads. To allow the user to fine tune system affinity settings new sysfs attributes are introduced per sdma engine. This patch adds a new attribute type for sdma engine and a new cpu_list attribute. When the user writes a cpu range to the cpu_list attribute the driver will create an internal cpu->sdma map, which will be used later as a look-up table to choose an optimal engine for a user requests.

* IB/hfi1: Fix the count of user packets submitted to an SDMA engineHarish Chegondi2016-10-021-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each user SDMA request coming into the driver may contain multiple packets. Each user packet may use multiple SDMA descriptors to fill the send buffer. The field seqsubmitted in struct user_sdma_request counts the number of user packets submitted to an SDMA engine. Sometimes, the intermediate count may not be updated properly. However, once all the packets' descriptors are successfully submitted to the SDMA engine, the final count is updated correctly. But, if only some of the packets are submitted to the engine due to an error, the intermediate count doesn't reflect the partial number of packets submitted to the SDMA engine. This can cause a hang later in the code as the count of packets submitted to the SDMA engine doesn't match the the count of packets processed by the SDMA engine.

* IB/hfi1: Move driver out of stagingDennis Dalessandro2016-05-261-0/+1082
The TODO list for the hfi1 driver was completed during 4.6. In addition other objections raised (which are far beyond what was in the TODO list) have been addressed as well. It is now time to remove the driver from staging and into the drivers/infiniband sub-tree.
